See all- Revealing Hidden Performance Issues with Extended EventsLink visible for attendees
Dear friends
On September 17th, 7PM CDT we are pleased to bring Jeff Iannucci demonstrating the usefulness of Extended Events as a performance troubleshooting tool in SQL server.
Revealing Hidden Performance Issues with Extended Events
Extended Events may be the most underutilized SQL Server tool for query performance tuning. Did you know there are now Extended Events that can tell you about spills to tempdb, aborted queries, and even queries that execute with common antipatterns? It’s true! With newer Extended Events released in SQL Server 2022, you can now diagnose these query problems and more. You can even measure the impact of these Extended Events with other Extended Events.
In this demo-filled session you will see how you can create these powerful Extended Events, how to review the collected data to determine which queries you can improve, and even how to rewrite the captured queries for improved performance. You’ll leave this session with a new set of tools to find and fix hidden performance issues in your SQL Server queries.Also, Andy Clark and Helen Wall have kindly agreed to a full day hands-on workshop on PowerBI on Nov 7 at the Microsoft office.
The registration is open here .
